His screen name has the word Jewelry in it, right? Jeweler? Diamond Smuggler?

I guess I wouldn't hesitate to ask a similar question on here when the time comes. In many ways, it matters to me what you guys think more than the guys on say, an Aston forum or a Ferrari or Lambo forum. The peeps on here are usually into cars for the fun factor, the handling, etc. The guys on those other forums surely enjoy fast cars and stuff too, but they are probably more bling-minded than the people on s2ki.

That, and if I "only" had $130k to spend, I wouldn't dare go asking around on those other forums, lol.
You're not new but he is (his s2ki age is 7 days, I believe). It's a weird way to start out, that's all.

The other guys on here that can afford these cars didn't do this so it does seem a bit strange.

Uh maybe he puts those photos in the photo albums so that he could post them for this discussion. Since when does someone has to give out their life story? Why does anybody have to have family shots?
Most people that post photos online would have a few other things in there as well. I rarely post photos but I've got a bunch of different things in my photobucket account.

I'm not asking for a life story. I'm not asking for anything, as a matter of fact. I'm just saying that it's a weird way to start out on a forum.

Also the BMW CS concept IS the next 7-Series.
As far as I know, no it's not. It is my understanding that the CS Concept represents a four-door coupe thingy (like the MB CLS) that would be positioned above the 7-series. I wouldn't expect the next 7-series to look just like the CS, though it's detailing may be very similar. My $.02 worth.

They're saying the nose and some design cues will be carried over to the new 7, but not the whole package.

I would say S63 over the rest.

You definitely nailed it!!! The Next 7 will have some CS cues though.

This the new X3 test mule that was taken about 3 months ago. It will definitely be wider and longer. My source says it will look very similiar to the X6. It will be more dynamic and more performance orientated. The X3 will be the new midrange SAV with the X1 slotting below. He also said, "First time around there was nobody now Audi and Mercedes-Benz are incoming with the Q5 and GLK respectively . Then you have the VW Tiguan , Ford Kuga etc..."

I'm not sure when its coming but I'm guessing soon to compete with the EX35, GLK, and company.

If you carry people in your back seat which it sound like you do I think I'd have to rule the AM out of the picture. Based on the pictures I would guess that backseat would require an adult male to hunch over to avoid hitting the interior roofline.

Thanks. I thought I read 2012 somewhere. That struck me as an AWFUL long time. The car is already stale, IMO. I was hoping it'd be new for 2009. We will need a new wagon this fall and would like to cross shop next-gen. versions of the X3, RX350, and FX35.
